My quilt guild had a trunk show and challenge for Stack n Whack quilts. I borrowed the book from the library since I wasn’t sure it was a type of quilt I would want to make more than once. While traveling I found the perfect fabric. What I didn’t have was the book to tell… Read More

This is a post about a completed quilt, but here it is in process on the long arm. I used the Deb Tucker Rapid Fire Hunters Star ruler and this pattern to make this quilt. There was a bit of a learning curve and I think I’d have to make it again to be totally… Read More

I posted about the process of this quilt here. It is finished and handed off as a gift. It is a large quilt at 73 x 85. Kynzi is tall and I wanted to be sure it was long enough, plus she had a lot of shirts. While this quilt is a gift and is not… Read More

Today you are 6 and this quilt is waiting for you to open.Mom told me your favorite color is orange. Do you like the back? A little wild, but I think it is perfect for a cool kid. The 3-D glasses are for the planets in the quilt. Close-ups of the squares, free motion loops… Read More

This is a result of a year of practicing machine quilting. A challenge Kitty and I started last year. I learned a lot this past year and really improved my quilting skills. This will not be my last whole cloth quilt. All year I had a different idea in my head and then when it… Read More

About Me!

I am a passionate quilter who sleeps, eats and breathes quilting and fabric when I am not working or spending time with my husband, kids and grandchildren.
As a teacher, pattern designer and quilt maker, I hope to instill the love of quilting in others. For those that are not inclined to make their own quilt, I love designing and working with customers to create an heirloom they can pass down for generations to come.
